M-Bond AE-10 Adhesive
Description
Two-component, 100% solids epoxy system for
general-purpose stress analysis. Transparent, medium
viscosity. A cure time as low as six hours at
+75°F (+24°C) may be used. (
AE-15
is recommended for more critical applications,
including transducers.) Elevated-temperature postcure
is recommended for maximum stability, and/or tests
above room temperature. Highly resistant to moisture
and most chemicals, particularly when postcured. For
maximum elongation, bonding surface must be rough.
Cryogenic applications require very thin
gluelines.
